I’ve been contemplating personal evolution and all the edges we hit along the way.
Currently, I’m sitting in this new home I designed, built, and decorated.
Everything about this home feels like me, and yet, the other day, I had the thought, “Who am I, the little girl who grew up in a trailer, to have such a home as this?”
This is a common edge women, especially, face as we grow.
I call this particular edge The Edge of Worthiness.
When we hit these edges, it’s essential that we walk towards them, not away.
Nothing has gone wrong. This is normal.
Here’s what I did in this particular situation – I took out a piece of paper and wrote my answer:
- Because you’ve always dreamed of a home like this ever since you were a little girl
- You have worked hard
- This home is safe to enjoy and share
- This home will provide your family and friends with so many memories
I kept going until I had filled an entire page.
Suddenly, I let go and allowed myself to really be in this home, to relax into the edge.
This is the art of joyful reinvention.
When you are stepping into your visions filled with love, joy, and abundance, here’s an important reminder:
Keep sauntering towards those edges that scare you.
Beyond them resides a whole new world.
With love and encouragement,
The Expansion Mindset: Growth Through Daily Choices
We cannot become what we want by remaining what we are.
~ Max Depree
Expansion isn’t just about giant leaps; it’s about the small, intentional choices we make each day. Consider your daily habits. Are they nurturing your growth or keeping you stagnant?
Cultivate an expansion mindset – a perspective that sees every experience as an opportunity to learn and grow. This mindset turns even mundane moments into chances for personal development.
Today, challenge yourself to find one small way to expand your world. It could be taking a different route to work, experimenting with a new recipe, or reaching out to a long-lost friend. Remember, expansion is about enriching your life experience, one small step at a time.
